We'll be taking sign-ups Friday night and Saturday morning. There is no late fee.
Efren and Busty are coming! Shane and Gomez too I just heard. $8,500 Added! Only $150 entry fee. Come and get some!
I'm guessing there will be late night action too!
What color is the cloth going to be?
Ernesto is recovering the tables this week. Same cloth as before, dark blue I believe. Cue Ball fouls only, but if two balls are moved or the outcome of the shot is affected, it's a foul. Red Circle cue ball, the one that comes with the Aramith set. We are playing Texas Express rules. You don't have to call every ball. One exception, no ten balls on the break, which I happen to disagree with, particularly on these triple tough tables.
A few more players who are expected - SVB, Stevie Moore, Corey, Rafael, Manny Chau and Mike Dechaine. Some filipinos will be there but not all. Several of the European players said they did not know about the event, and made plane reservations to fly back after Vegas. All I can say is that they aren't checking online or in billiard publications. This event has been publicized since January, on AZ Billiards and the Seminole Tour website.
Jay, I heard HB is in for an extreme makeover, that the cloth is going to be burgundy and it's something noticeably slower than is on the tables now (860 now?). With those tight pockets and slow cloth it should be brutal.
They are doing a Major Renovation, but not before this event. Don said it was gonna be awesome!

Shaping up to be a good one! If you can't play, just come by and visit.

Burgundy! Man, that looks awful. GCII's look so weird in that color IMO. Am I alone in feeling that way?
